The Physical Therapy Department at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital provides rehabilitation services for an array of injuries, impairments and conditions, including those caused by sports, accidents, strokes, wounds and arthritis. Our highly trained professionals remain in close consultation with the patient’s physician to provide a structured and personalized rehabilitation program.

When a patient is referred for "physical therapy," treatment may include:

Orthopedic care - Geared toward returning the injured athlete back to the game quickly and safely, these services include biomechanical assessment, inflammation reduction, motion and strength restoration and activity-specific training.

Back and neck care - Our department incorporates a range of back and neck rehabilitation philosophies, including the McKenzie approach, dynamic lumbar stabilization, cervical stabilization and other manual therapy approaches. The goal is to restore function, improve mechanics and prevent re-injury.
